Carbon Column

Description: Sugar is pumped in a column which contains active carbon, this sugar leaves the column through a draining system. The activity of an active carbon column depends on the temperature and the nature of the substances. Sugar goes through the column constantly, which gives an accumulation of substances in the filter. For that reason the filter needs to be replace periodically. A used filter can be regenerated in different ways, granular carbon can be regenerated easily by oxidizing the organic matter. The efficiency of the active carbon decreases by 5 – 10%. A small part of the active carbon is destroyed during the regeneration  process and must be replaced. If you work with different columns in series, you can assure that you will not have a total exhaustion of your purification system.
